Thanks! That'll likely save me a large endless headache. I live in Yellowknife, NT. So you can appreciate my situation. There is ZERO VW knowledge goin on up here, and the only headgaskets I can track down sourced from local shops are Felpro (which don't make an AAZ gasket, not that I'd buy one if they did :? ) Thanks again, I'm sure one of these sources will work nicely for me, but anyone that reads this, keep the suggestions coming. Others can likely use this info as well
